Kayakers vs Whirlpools!

- As the Ottawa river begins to rise the eddylines start to get way more powerful and at the top of the Butchers Knife rapid, some really powerful whirlpools begin to form! We had an awesome day with a really good crew, Dane had an insane ride that was honestly a little bit scary to watch!

I made the mistake in my youth, along with a few friends, by jumping into that similar whirlpool without a kayak. It took me to the bottom of the river and I ended up about 100 yards down stream. Its a good thing I had strong lungs at the time from years of paddling. Never did that again without a boat!
Dude. Rowdy story!
insane! man, that'd be terrifying.
Bro I'm so glad you're alive
@@thegoldenplayer827 Needless to say, at the time I did wonder if I would see daylight again. Here it is 30 years later and I'm still breathing. Oh, but what fun memories! That was on the Ottawa river Canada.

Welcome to kayaking
I got pulled under a log Jam once. I knew there was a strainer at the end. it was the fight of my life to grab hold of the bottom of it and fight my way up through it. I nearly died. My kayak was never seen again.
Oof
Happened to me once too. Definitely one of the scariest things that ever happened to me.
the amount of power in those whirlpools is insane...
I've heard of this sport before it's called waterboarding. It use to be real huge down in Guantanamo Bay.
Lol
Have you ever been there in the spring time?? The hummus is hard to beat
@@quaaludecowboy692 no only in the summer but the summer is great for bird watching on bay

Ss ro
Kayak+whirlpool=submarine
lol
😂👌
😂😂😂
When I used to kayak there a few crazy ass kayakers would get out of their boats, grab rocks and jump in to the whirl pools holding the rocks. Of course they came up 20-30 seconds later looking quite green way way down river.
Imaging being that good at what you do, you can come up from a whirlpool laughing from enjoyment....
Diosita... es como ser de otro mundo,...sirenos, traqueas,...respirar diferente,no solo por pulmon fuerte ..es como algo mas aparte de eso... Es como vivir y morir a la vez,. Que imponesia desafiante. No es lo mismo ahogarse en un pileton a ahogarse en ese tremendo torbellino.. Grandioso
Mystery moves in full size boats. And the art of the old stern squirt! Love it.
You are so right - the river does not care who you are. I had the pleasure of boating with "Ottowa Phil" Coleman in Costa Rica. He was the first to run the Ottowa at high levels. Phil had grown up on the steep creeks of West Virginia.
I've never managed to roll in a whirlpool; you sit there waiting for it to kick you out. Dane must have the lungs from a whale; is he the next step in evolution when we return to living in the water. Great video; I loved it.
And here I was really excited about kayaking, but this reminds me that the danger is forever present
Bren: what do you want to to today
Adrian: maybe get some beat downs
Dane: if we do we need to do it in style
Everyone: whirlpool time
Nouria was bored with it. Too easy for her.
Squirt boating for creekers - unleashed 2020 ?
Super scary but another round for Dane to win
Great video !
This must be the most crazy thing I've seen in a long time. Wow! Thumbs up!!
Umm, you guys are insane! Super impressive stuff
Big tease! Who needs a squirt boat anyway!
Great team of kayakers
Fun clip guys thanks for the laughs
I’ve seen large logs upended and sucked under water in the Mississippi River. This is all fun & games until someone dies.
I just wanna say that I don’t give a fuck
Savage! That one just wasn't letting go of Dane! hehehe Would love to see Nouria and the lads at Stikine. Saw Dane there with the Gnarvana looks like a lot of sick fun to be had.
That looks like so much fun
I love the "sorta know whut were doin"line i gotta learn this stuff....
having been in a whirlpool recently that I'm sure was only a 1/4 of the size of those :-0 brilliant video and yep the're scary things!
I’m failing to find how this is fun. I’ll take your word for it
U r crazy guys. Awesome...
To each their own. I kayak but fed not white water! I fish off mine with my 2 sons. We like to float and fish😘. Stay safe out there yall
Some serious mystery moves
@Enlightened ☀️ I do. It's just a bit different with big boats😀.I know they aren't fully submerged most of the time but it's still super cool
Nice Video!!
New washing machine method I dig!
Sick of the word sick. Great vid btw
Haha, working on my vocabulary game
Great video!
This is really cool!
Best rides ever!!!
It must be spring run off the water is a little dirty. Have fun and have respect,and be careful.
That looks like a lot of scary fuuuun
Enorme!🙌🏿🤙🏿
ayyy i've been in that eddy, those whirlpools are pretty spooky when your there in person
No doubt, powerful water for sure!
You’ve got an anime profile picture shut the fuck up
@@mcslimshady2848 your name is literally cock, it suits you xd
@@mcslimshady2848 ^
Dentium cause it fucking massive
So sick 🔥🔥🔥
I did this once in my bath tub I thought I might die when my wife found all the water on the floor 🤣
Can we save our life with lifejacket in whirepool???
Damn that was scary to watch. But awesome vid as usual 👍👍👍👍
haha thanks dude, I would call it Scary-Fun.
Wow
Struggling not to drown in an ice cold river not the way I want to spend a Saturday but to each there own
" you know i don think i am crazy any more. i feel fine now."
wow, that was nuts. except for one, those were all big boats...and they just disappeared...
SO powerful in there dude!
Super
Please part 2! 😝🙏
I think the Lotus drummer and his son both died in a whirlpool in AR. They found their kayaks but never found the bodies. RIP
Next time you should do a video on how to taile/stern squirt a machno!
Good times.
Just love this stuff...amazing fun
Wish I had seen this before I swam it a couple times!
Did you die
There's a reason that there are no Kayaking videos below Niagara Falls. You may never come up.
And, as for anyone trying what is shown here, Beware...
- if your skirt comes loose, only your life jacket will bring you up... maybe... hope u are still alive or conscious.
ps- Edit: Read description on this short video (class 6 rapids lower Niagara river gorge)
In whirlpools your deck won’t do shit
That doesn't look safe to me 🤔
Haha, long as you stay in your kayak it's relatively safe... if you bailed then that would not be good :P
Senders epic
If that is butchers knife I once came up under a raft in those whirlpools and swam. Not fun at all, and not easy to get the kayak out from underneath it.

You are all fucking nuts man, that shit is intense. Dane's crazy ride made me a bit scared for him. lol
I love the Ottawa river though, some of the best times of my life there.
Especially when the water rises.
That is crazy, I’ve played in whirlpools but they are insane!
Arent they dangerous
Freddie RangerUK they’re only really dangerous if you swim
Bren do you wear ear plugs when playboating, and if so what type. Thanks.
I use Surf Plugs, unless I lose them in which case I use nothing until I eventually suck it up and buy a new set
Senders Yeah, you wouldn't want to loose those 💰💰💰
I run the occasional Rapids but have very little experience with big water like this. How can you tell where the whirlpool is forming? It doesn't seem immediately obvious to me. I ask because I want to avoid them LOL.
Pretty random but you can start to see folds of water pusing in on each other at the top of the eddyline. Mostly it just came down to luck though :P
Super Bro
I’m having flashbacks to Steve Fisher on the Congo...
That is not for me. On the edge mate. (O-O)
At 01.00 so scary, my lord
Robert it go down!
No
The river i live on is usually pretty calm so i guess i got too comfortable and went out alone after we had a huge amount of rain with no life jacket.
Got caught in relatively small whirlpool that formed on the other side of a spillway. i underestimated how strong they pull you. good thing i learned that lesson in a small one and didn't have to pay with my life.
Scary dude, stay safe out there!
Very foolish not wearing a PFD. You are lucky to be alive
High water, alone and no PFD. Many people have died under those three conditions!
Isn't this basically a mystery move? Like you can do the same thing off a same whirling Eddy.
Jacko was thinkin "ta fuck release me bitch"... :-O face tells all...
It looks like you were purposefully spinning down under. Does it suck you in that way if you try to stay upright?
Love from Uma
How do you exit the whirlpool? It seems you guys are not fighting for your lives to get out, even after some serious hold downs. Is there a quick exit maneuver to get right out?
Wait
Love from uma ❤️ telugu ❤️ traveller 🎉🎉

*Whats the song in the very beginning??*
pull is even greater if you add water in kayak.
OOOOHHH SCARRY!
Love from Uma telugu traveller ❤️
So what happens if you exit your boat?
How many maelstroms are there?

Where on the Ottawa?
Ive only been on the Ottawa at water levels bellow 6, so I'm not too familiar with the river at this water level, but from the rocks I see in the background, I think it's bellbellow butchers knife

How long was Dane under for? :-)
Just over 20 seconds I think mate!
Senders Doesn't sound too bad but I suppose it probably felt like a long time
i watched at 2x speed and still looks quite long when i hold my breath during video :-D
Harvie I love that!
@@harviecz add intense physical exercise to that time of holding breath plus the psychology of not knowing when you will pop up!
